Salad 101

Salad is such a broad term. Let's re-define it.

Salad is a bowl of enzyme-rich raw vegetables.

90 salads in 30 days will change your life. Why? Because the vitamins and minerals in raw vegetables eaten with consistency will change your DNA. Don't believe it? Prove me wrong: eat 90 salads in the next 30 days and see for yourself.

So.....what is a salad? Salad is four layers of nutritionally dense vegetables and condiments.

Layer 1: In the bottom of the bowl place chopped veggies, Chop small: carrots, celery, onion, yellow pepper and tomatoes. Notice how there is a variety of color represented here: orange, green, white, yellow, red. This ensures a variety of vitamins. This is a great time to introduce a vegetable you have never eaten before. Grab something strange the next time you are in the produce section, chop it up and blend it with things you love. Your body will reward you for giving a new vitamin a chance.

• cucumbers
• cauliflower
• tomatoes
• avocado
• asparagus
• broccoli
• bell peppers
• onions: green, shallots, sweet yellow
• mushrooms
• radishes
• celery
• raw corn
• raw okra
• peas: raw snow peas, green peas, lentils
• sweet potato
• bok choy
• cabbage
• beets
• turnips
• squash
• zucchini
• fruit including organic raisins and currant (Eat fruit only as a fruit salad)
• blanched veggies: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, beets (blanching certain cruciferous vegetables make them easier to digest and enhances their enzyme content)

Layer 2: Dressing. Choose whole food condiments that add health to your salad. Don't use store bought salad dressings that negate the value of your salad. Use 1 tsp raw minced garlic, 1 tsp ground mustard, 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil to Layer 1. Mix well and stir into chopped vegetable mixture. This allows the hard vegetables to marinade, absorbing the dressing and becoming softer. This vegetable mixture will keep in the refrigerator for 24 hours and is a good way to make salad-eating easier by doing the chopping ahead of time.

• extra virgin olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• apple cider vinegar
• Bragg's Liquid Aminos
• sea salt
• pepper: white pepper, whole black peppercorns in a grinder
• chives
• garlic
• fresh parsley, mint, basil, oregano, dill, paprika
• scallions
• lemon and lime juice
• honey
• maple syrup
• mashed tomato, avocado
• raw vegetable juices: celery, tomato, carrot

Layer 3: Leaf vegetables. Using an assortment of raw dark green leafy vegetables will maximize the value of your salad. Hand shred spinach and romaine over the top of your condiments. Let sit without mixing if it will be up to one hour before eating the salad. Otherwise, mix thoroughly. Never use iceberg lettuce - it has no nutritional value and does your body little good to fill up on nutritionally negligible foodstuffs even if they are raw and whole.

Layer 4: Protein. A small amount of protein (4 oz) once a day taken in a salad can be healthful. Try home cooked beans (black, kidney, garbanzo), seared fish-with-fins (tuna, salmon, tilapia) raw nuts (pine nuts,chopped pecans or walnuts) or steamed long grain brown rice. Never mix proteins in a salad, keep total protein to 4 oz and only add protein once a day if even that often.

When a salad is not a salad: taco salad, Caesar salad, spinach salad with bacon dressing. These are great examples of junk food in a bowl. They are not raw, whole, enzyme-rich foods that result in alkalizing your system. These salads are highly acidic due to their cooked, preservative-laden nature. Take chicken Caesar salad as an example: in 99% of restaurants the chicken is not organic and is instantly acidic (as is all animal protein ) to your body; Caesar dressing is made from sugar, oil and cream; the salad is topped with cheese (another animal protein); the croutons are gluten- preservative- and wheat-filled (not whole grains); and it is all served over a small portion of romaine lettuce that has been washed with preservatives to maintain crispness for many hours in the deli case. The nutritional value of this salad is zero.

You know you have created a vitamin bomb to your system when your raw whole food salad

1. instantly alkalizes your body
2. satiates your appetite
3. causes you to poop and
4. makes you hungry for more raw whole foods.

A vegetable salad has the power to heal. Consider this: homeopathic remedies are derived from herbs, plants, minerals and oils. Add a healing substance to a bowl of raw vegetables and you have the recipe for nutritional healing.

• garlic and onions for constipation
• fresh grape juice for kidney problems
• aloe vera juice for immune disorders
• black walnuts for yeast
• peppermint for spasms and cramps

Heal yourself with a refreshing salad.

Avocado Salad

Mash one whole avocado with the juice of one lime and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Serve over shredded red leaf lettuce with diced tomatoes and red onions sprinkled on top.

Fruit Salad

Choose fruits that combine in a healthy fashion: melon like to be alone, all other fruits can be eaten together. Chop in bite sized chunks: apples, bananas, strawberries, blueberries and oranges. Or pomegranate seed, bananas, pears and chopped pecans or poppy seeds. Prepare a dressing from raw local honey, orange juice, berry juice and/or lemon.

A Cancer Theory - Part 3

If cancer is an external invader, not a mutation of DNA; if cancer can be starved by eliminating animal protein, sugar and preservatives; if cancer can be pushed through the digestive system and out the colon, then this is how you do it.

1.) Eat only vegetables, fruit, grains, beans, legumes and water. Eat food in it's highest enzymatic state. Eat fruit raw; eat vegetables raw, juiced or lightly steamed; eat whole grains steamed; eat legumes soaked and cooked; eat beans soaked, boiled and cooked; eat nuts raw.

"The Gerson Therapy recommends a low-fat, salt-free
program of food consumption to supply the body's cells with easily assimilated
nutrients for strengthening one's natural immune defenses. To prevent or
correct most of the fifteen hundred known degenerative disease, the Gerson
Therapy offers an ideal way to eat. In our modern society of processed
packaged foods frequently containing preservatives, additives, dyes and
sometimes outright carcinogens, all forced upon us by accompanying massive
amounts of media propaganda and advertising, the Gerson Therapy admittedly
presents a difficult dining program to follow. Yet if a sick person is
serious about recovery, then adopting the Gerson therapeutic technique does
assure the restoration of wellness.
At the core of the Gerson Therapy is its diet, which
includes dining on organically grown fresh fruits and vegetables and drinking
thirteen glasses of freshly squeezed juices daily, taken at
hourly intervals. The emphasis on organic fresh fruits and vegetables means
the patient receives elevated levels of minerals, enzymes, beta carotene,
vitamins A and C, and other antioxidants that scavenge free radicals. Yet
these foods are recommended to contain no residual pesticides and
fungicides. Most of the diet's followers consume huge amounts of naturally
occurring phytochemicals that scientists have discovered are true preventers of
chronic degenerative diseases."

2.) Break up the parasite and tumor by ingesting herbs: sheep sorrel, burdock root, slippery elm bark, turkish rhubarb, Essiac, wormwood, black walnut hull extract, cloves.

"The tumor is a well-adapted parasite that hides from
the body's immune system by generating a 'stealth' coating of human chorionic
gonadotropin which provides regional immune suppression. The cancer
pretends to be a fetus and, in doing so, stops the attack by the immune
system. High doses of niacin as inositol hexanicotinate and digestive
enzymes work to dissolve this 'stealth' coating of the tumor. Your body's
immune system is then free to do its job of ridding the body of 'non-self' cells,
such as cancer."
Beating Cancer With Nutrition
Patrick Quillin PhD, RD, CNS

3.) Poop. Disease does not evaporate. It leaves your body in mass by pooping, secondarily by sweating. Sickness also leaves your body through mucous secretions and exhalation but the greatest percentage of toxins is released through urination and poop.

"Because of the interrelationship between immune
function and the intestines, it makes sense that cleansing them has a powerful
disease-modifying effect. In addition, the liver cleanses the blood of
most poisons, which are then excreted into the bile (a fat-dissolving digestive
enzyme), which squirts into the intestines during digestion. Bile, and the
toxins that it contains, is incorporated into the stool. When the stool
doesn't move through the intestines easily and relatively quickly, waste
products accumulate and clog the bowel, which irritates the delicate lining of
the large intestine, allowing waste products and other toxins to be reabsorbed
back into the bloodstream"

4.) Oxygenate your blood. This can be as simple as taking a walk. Move your body so that your circulation is increased; preferably to the point that you sweat. Increased circulation stimulates the lymph system. A stimulated lymph system stimulates the immune system. Blood and oxygen is rushed to your cells. Cancer cannot live in an oxygenated system.

"When you walk, the movement of your limbs is
cross-patterned; the right leg and the left arm move forward at the same
time, then the left leg and the right arm. This type of movement
generates electrical activity in the brain that has a harmonizing influence on
the whole central nervous system - a special benefit of walking that you do not
necessarily get from other kinds of exercise.
So I am going to pare my advice and comments on
exercise down to one word: Walk! In my opinion, walking is the most
healthful form of physical activity, the one that has the greatest capacity to
keep the healing system in good working order and increase the likelihood of
spontaneous healing in case of illness."
Spontaneous Healing
Andrew Weil, M.D.

5.) Drink water. Hydrated cells are alive with electricity. Hydration rapidly heals cells at the basic level, DNA.

6.) Work hard at this. Every single thing you put in your mouth and on your skin either gives life or takes it away. Be careful what products you use to brush your teeth, clean your skin, wash and condition your hair, color your nails. All of these products can be highly toxic and full of heavy chemicals, pesticides and worse

It is possible to cure yourself nutritionally. Try it.
